Bottom Of The Barrel

Blurring the lines

The most unknown group Gym Class Heroes creates the kind of music that blurs the lines between rock, pop and hip-hop. Their first release from the new album, As Cruel As School Children, is called Cupid's Chokehold features hip-hop lyrics, a soft pop riff and a Supertramp chorus. That's a pretty eclectic mix of elements. According an Editor at Amazon "This upstate NY 4-piece hip-hop band fuse crisp guitar rhythms, deep melodic bass lines, head cracking beats, and conscious lyrics to create a sound truly their own. Their debut full-length, "The Papercut Chronicles", has sold over 32,000 copies, converting anyone within ear shot into fans. This, their follow-up, is surely going to launch the band to the next level." Well I'm not sure if anyone who listens will run out and purchase their new album but I have to say they defiantly have a unique sound and I am going to give their new album a listen. If anyone is interested, they are stopping in Boston on February 17th at the Avalon Ballroom. Check it out.
